[@bohemondiofantioch539]

What's to stop them from building a bunch of remote controlled Abrams though? I mean don't get me wrong, remote controlled tank battles would be awesome, but there isn't much room for playing with giant robots when it comes to "real weapons."

[@bohemondiofantioch539]

+GodKingVivec Only $9 million according to Wikipedia :)

[@bohemondiofantioch539]

+GodKingVivec Well yeah, I imagine that's how much it cost the U.S military to build them, the guys who already done all the R&D and have the facilities to build one while not needing to cut through all the legal red tape required for civilians to build their own tanks... but that's not really the point. My point is that these fights are always going to have to be at least a little dumb and impractical because giant robots are an inherently inferior design to tanks. You can't just have a competition to see who can build the best 50 or 60 tonne killing machine, because we already know what they look like, we have 100 years of engineering and military tradition, as well as real world combat with human lives on the line (something these events can never simulate) telling us what those look like, and they don't look like giant fighting robots. I thought this fight was awesome, and I am optimistic to see what these guys come out with next, but this isn't battle bots, it never will be, and we shouldn't try to change that. There is no point in trying to make this into a game that all the major military powers in the world have been playing better than us for a goddamned century. Imho this sport would be best to distance itself from battle bots and really try to be its own thing.

[@DSeraph88]

This was a cool experience but the outcomes were pretty obvious. First match: both robots independently built around the same weight class for their creators pleasure. Let’s call it medium weight class. America went for a ranged turret bot and Japan for a melee lancer bot. Melee won when it got the charge in especially since these are concept bots and the American bot was not actually created to use live ammunition. Makes sense. Second match: America custom built a bot specifically for defeating Japan’s bot that was double its weight class. That’s like a assault mech vs a medium mech in Battletech terms. Really it was obvious Japan was fighting at a huge disadvantage in that and makes sense for America to win. Also chain saw and cannons in a supposedly melee duel lol.

[@warrenmetzger6516]

Wasn't Kuratis designed w Iron glory at least peripherally in mind though? I don't think either battle was particularly fair, (though really fuckin cool both times.) I wanna see them build new ones with weight class in mind, and without knowledge of the others. Maybe remotely operated so they can blow each other up or something :D We could make a real sport of this!

Everything was scripted that's why

[@raccoonwithstupidity5773]

And cus all of this is the first generation of mechs so :T

[@JolanXBL]

A snow removal dozer would have fared better.

[@jastonyuh765]

Who's the director? Find him and fire him.

[@cod6guy12]

They hired the Mythbusters production crew.

[@MurphyArtPrints]

Well THERE's your problem.

[@jjtreads5472]

The director really wasn’t the problem, the problem was that the tech is still very new and clunky. Once they get better robots then maybe it’ll be more fun to watch, but for now it was really slow and boring for “robot” fighting.

[@portals5785]

Jaston Yuh totally

[@koalemos3636]

Not your style? Leave

[@AhintofChan]

That drone move though, Maybe future robot wars will be like in the navy how aircraft carriers beat battleships. Imagine just being a walking drone platform with hundreds of those little things.

[@TheNocturnalAlchemist]

Had a chance to make something really cool but ruined it with cheesy cinematography and bad acting

[@hthring]

yeah, its terrible

[@Proiteus]

Agreed, only curiosity kept me watching up until that crinch worthy "we should move!" scene.

[@seanwilson3650]

The Nocturnal Alchemist I like your channel. Just subscribed

[@r3load3z34]

The Nocturnal Alchemist just like first boxing combats. Give it time to mature dont ditch it yet.

[@charliedulol]

rigged we can also say.

[@jasonarong9656]

This is so freaking unfair 2 pilots versus 1 2 robots versus 1 No rules for weapons No rules for weights Really?

[@gandharzero]

Watch the latest video here. They are now figuring out rules so future possible fights last longer than 10 seconds. I agree with you that the first duel was disappointingly short as no real rules where in place and just the heavier vehicle won. The rules will hopefully even out the performance of the different weight classes so the audience can enjoy a longer lasting fight.

[@dillonstadt7638]

This is also fake as shit js

[@maruftim]

Ikr, Kurata can't defeat Iron Glory because of the weight.

[@marcosrios8572]

Jason Chen the other pilot will control the cam

[@ericdiaz-diaz5029]

Jason Chen nigga what did u expect

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

I remember this. Hammed up so much, it's great. Definitely slower than Armored Core 6, put the paint job matches up.

[@allentowns7027]

Still coming back from time to time. Accomplishing dreams is not easy, now I get it as I grow up. But I'm not giving up, and I sincerely hope you guys will rise and chase your dreams again

[@Cosmoman78]

12 tons against 6.5 tons robot? Come on, there should be a maximum weight rule or something. It's like a heavyweight vs feather boxer.

[@josephineparsons78]

Cosmoman78 if this takes off I reckon there will be if this properly takes off as a sport but beacause they had like two mechs globally that can actually fight so they were propably went let's just fight them all and see how we do

[@ddvsgd9508]

Joshua Parsons I don't think it will take off for a while because it's really expensive.

[@crafguy]

And Eagle Prime brought a fkn chainsaw

[@ElMecsicanou]

i thought the same, but think about this, those are the very first robots ever built of that size and with pilot-able capabilities, this is the kick off start! as team medabots said at the ending, its time to make it a league, add weight balancing, etc. this is itttt!!! enjoyed this A LOT!

[@foxley95]

Ddv Sgd maybe not every year

[@thebestnerd4444]

this was to be expected for the first ever giant robot fight. as more people get involved and more fights happen it will get better.

[@AfroMing]

Taylor youngreen this comment should be #1

[@factman8808]

👌👍

[@xsonohx7961]

Agreed.

[@germancarrasco2028]

I don't see a future for fights of manned robots. There is no need to risk human lives and make the battles less destructive just to protect the pilots. Anyway, those robots were very good looking and could be modified and improved. A nice first step.

[@mattooi4322]

Megabot boxing would be actually the most interesting to watch. Weapons on piloted vehicles will always be boring because they'll be nerfed

[@generaltso5592]

Dude how did I miss this, real life MechWarrior battles

[@p0k3f4n7]

It may be slow, but we still have giant robot fights in our lifetime, and that's pretty cool.

[@weirdyoutubef4189]

It is all because of physics

[@recca5957]

Only American can think that hand to hand means a cannon and chainsaw.

Japanese pilot be like: "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! TAKE THIS! MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW! SHINING FIST~~~~!"

[@ulforcemegamon3094]

Everybody says "so lame" "weird tractors" "a forklift would kill these" could be true but gently remind that technology kinda advances stupidily fast , the first compute ENIAC was of the size of a house and was barely able to have a good amount of ram and everybody said that conputers were trash and they had no future , now look at your smartphone today , it is 10000 times more powerful than ENIAC and weights 10000 times less , this may be lame and slow but everything has to start like that until become more powerful , lighter and faster , even human once were a baby that couldn't do anything for themselves , yet some of them did grow up change the world PD: square cube law ? Graphene is the solution

[@nexogeo6949]

Ulforce Megamon I like your mindset

[@ulforcemegamon3094]

Levin Aiden thanks , i see many people with alot of negativity in the comments rather than criticism

[@johnfaux8651]

Exactly, people don't realize what progress Is. I mean the amount of money and hours they must have taken to build these robots. It's amazing.

[@themaughan3378]

You’re right, Japan making a mecha that can strafe will make their fighting style more feasible. And I don’t think this will be a sport because the military definitely will step in and take the tech when it starts getting good.

[@ulforcemegamon3094]

The Maughan yeah , even the first plane wasn't able to flight more than 100 meters yet we have now jets that easily surpass sound speed , something that sounded super crazy many decades ago , honestly i see mecha future to be cuadrupedal that can switch between feet and wheels , wheels when you need speed and feet when you need to climb or the terrain is difficult (there were tanks that got stuck in mud and nobody came to get them out of it ) but mechas can have alot of forms tho

[@edwardroach9643]

I so badly wish to build a mech to compete in this. This is by far the most badass sport ever. O:
